CLUB HISTORY
The "Old Lady", as Juventus is commonly known, was
founded in 1897 under the name Sport Club Juventus, which
was changed to Football Club two years later. The club
colours were originally pink and black, and the team donned
its famous black-and-white stripe only in 1903. The club won
its first league championship in 1905 and its second in 1926.
The first great Juventus team won five Italian league
championships in a row between 1931 and 1935, and its first
Italian Cup in 1938. Twenty years later, Juventus won its
tenth league championship and the right to wear a gold star
on its famous stripes. The 1970s were the golden years in
the club's history: the team won five league titles and also a
UEFA Cup in 1977.
Under the management of Trapattoni, the team boasted
such great players as Zoff, Cabrini, Gentile, Scirea, Tardelli
and then Platini and Boniek. In 1982 Juventus won its
twentieth league title and the right to sew a second star on
its black-and-white stripes. The club won its first Cup
Winners' Cup in 1984, followed by the European Cup in
1985on that tragic night at the Heysel Stadiumand the
World Club Championship, and its twenty-second league
championship in 1986. The club, owned by the Agnelli family,
then entered a period of transition and had to wait until 1995
before winning the twenty-third championship, which makes
Juventus the most successful team in Italian football.
THE GROUND
A new ground was built for the 1990 World Cup and now
hosts Juventus' home games. Having left the old ground, the
scene of so many great victories and still used for training
purposes, in the 1990-91 season the black-and-whites
moved to the Delle Alpi Stadium in the suburbs of Turin. The
new all-seater stadium has a capacity of 64,041 and is
equipped with excellent parking facilities.
